Shushan waxberries, originally called "Chuishan" waxberries, have a history of over 400 years. There are two types. The pale yellow one, which is special to Shushan village, is sweeter than the dark reddish-purple one.

Shushan waxberries were awarded the registration certificate of the Agro-product Geographical Indications by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, becoming the first product awarded with this designation in SND.
